On the latest episode of TNA Impact, Frankie Kazarian won the TNA World Championship, bringing a swift end to the reign of Mike Santana. This was Santana’s first, and only, defense of the TNA World Title and now Kazarian has shared his reaction to the title change.

On X, TNA’s official account shared Kazarian’s reaction. Taking aim at fans who are “sitting at home on your dumpy asses” who send him “nothing but hatred,” Kazarian daedd them to “please give me more.”

 “I bathe in your tears. Be angry with me, be very angry with me. But you know what? Get used to it, because the king has his crown.“

Kazarian signed off by proclaiming himself the TNA World Champion and vowed that he will be the TNA World Champion “for a long time.” This victory makes Kazarian the eleventh TNA Triple Crown Champion and the sixth Grand Slam Champion.

On his own X account, Kazarian had a less agressive attitude. Instead of goading fans to send him hate, Kazarian was grateful to those who’ve always believed in him. The new TNA World Champion also appreciated those who never believed in him for fueling his desire to reach the top.

Time will tell what the reign of TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian looks like. For now, Kazarian stands a top TNA Wrestling, and plans to stay there for a long time to come.

You never know what can happen in a company where someone has a guaranteed title shot. This weekâ€s TNA Wrestling iMPACT only proved that.

During this weekâ€s live episode of TNA Wrestling, the TNA World Title was on the line. This match was quite a main event segment for the show as well.

The night ended with a TNA World Title match, but they didnâ€t get very far. About five minutes into the match, NXT stars Lexis King, Charlie Dempsey, Stacks, Brooks Jenson, and more jumped into the ring to attack Santana.

The match was called off after that, and although TNA Wrestling stars tried to run down for the save, the NXT talent stood tall at the end. Santana was laid out, and then the NXT Superstars left. After that, Frankie Kazarian ran down with his Call Your Shot gauntlet trophy to cash in.

Although Santana didnâ€t go down without a fight, he did end up getting pinned after a roll-up. The night ended with Frankie Kazarian as TNA World Champion, and Santana was a beaten man.

NXT and TNA Wrestling have an ongoing situation, and this partnership between the two sides has opened up a lot of new possibilities. Now, it appears that the TNA World Title is not safe anymore, even after Santana won it back for his company.

We will keep a close eye on this story for more information. Only time will tell how this pans out when it comes to TNA Wrestling and NXTâ€s ongoing partnership.

Whatâ€s your take on how this TNA World Title match ended on iMPACT this week? Do you think that they should have gone a different direction? Let us know what you think in the comments section!

AJ Styles has spoken out after seeing Frankie Kazarian break out one of his signature moves during Bound For Glory 2025.

The October 12 pay-per-view from the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts, delivered plenty of big moments, including the unprecedented ending of the Call Your Shot gauntlet match where Kazarian and Nic Nemeth were declared co-winners.

During the gauntlet, Kazarian caught Steve Maclin with a Pele Kick that instantly reminded fans of Styles†classic offense. The Phenomenal One noticed the move and dropped his reaction on Twitter with a short but pointed response, “ðŸ˜â€

Kazarian followed up the Pele Kick with an Angel Wings, the trademark of Christopher Daniels. The timing drew even more attention since Styles himself had used an Angel Wings against John Cena at WWE Crown Jewel in their own throwback-heavy clash.

While Bound For Gloryâ€s main event saw Mike Santana defeat Trick Williams to win the TNA World Championship, Kazarianâ€s decision to pull out a move made famous by Styles added an extra layer of buzz to the show. Styles†reaction made it clear that he recognized the moment and appreciated the nod to his arsenal.

Do you think Frankie Kazarian using AJ Styles†move was a respectful nod, or should Styles step back into a TNA ring one day to show how itâ€s really done? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
